#352 checkpointing progress to restore in case of an interrupted run habili new enhancement normal Jun 30, 2010 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

Domain can safely be pickled, but boundaries that use functions or lambdas cannot be pickled. We need an alternative means of checkpointing ANUGA runs, possibly by separating the boundaries from the Domain so they will not be pickled along with the Domain.


#213 Review vertex and edge limiter steve new defect normal Nov 15, 2007 Feb 13, 2012 Efficiency and optimisation

Will Power has identified a situation (periodic forcing) which seems to show that in that situation ANUGA demonstrates diffusive behaviour (first order in space). The problem seemed to be resolved when vertex limiting is turned off and second order timestepping is used. I claim that changing over to edge limiting should also provide a solution to the problem. Edge limiting should be implemented and tested for robustness.


#356 compute_boundary_flows steve new defect normal Oct 22, 2010 Oct 22, 2010 Architecture and API

The calculation of boundary flows is not accurate. The current implementation uses the x and y momentum on the boundary edge to calculate the flux of water. Actually the flux should be calculated via the numerical flux method. This info will be available in the well balanced implementation.

Shows up if you use all reflective boundaries. Then there should be zero boundary flows!

#45 Eliminate xya2pts from data_manager and use load mesh functionality instead Leharne new defect trivial Jan 31, 2006 Feb 13, 2012 Architecture and API

Affected files development/okushiri_2005/lwru2.py:from pyvolution.data_manager import xya2pts development/okushiri_2005/lwru2.py:xya2pts(project.bathymetry_filename, verbose = True, inundation/debug/mesh_error_reporting/show_mesh_bug.py:from pyvolution.data_manager import xya2pts inundation/debug/mesh_error_reporting/show_mesh_bug.py:xya2pts(filenames.bathymetry_filename, verbose = True, inundation/pyvolution/data_manager.py:def xya2pts(basename_in, basename_out=None, verbose=False, production/merimbula_2005/prepare.py: from pyvolution.data_manager import xya2pts production/merimbula_2005/prepare.py: xya2pts(project.bathymetry_filename, verbose = True)

There are some file types that have the same information, but can be written in different formats. This are points files that can be pts(binary) or xya(ascii) and mesh files, that can be msh(binary) or tsh(ascii).

All interfaces that use points or mesh files should be able to deal with both formats.

This makes an xya2pts function redundant in most cases. Maybe it can be used for testing the points interface, to make sure that it can handle both binary or ASCII? That functionality is tested in the ?import_points_file? function.


#334 Get ANUGA ready for Python 3.0 (aka py3k) everyone new enhancement minor Jul 12, 2009 Jun 17, 2010 Compilation and installation

ANUGA was tested for Python2.6 on 13th July 2009 but we need to move towards Python3.0 which the goal of Py2.6.

The way to see what needs to be done is to run ANUGA under Python2.6 using the -3 flag, e.g.

python -3 test_all.py

I started this process in changeset:7309 (the caching module).


#254 Allow functions used in set_quantity and also forcing functions to use normal absolute UTM without having to specify geo_reference object. gareth new defect normal Mar 4, 2008 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

In changeset:5090 the manual was updated to show how one should pass the geo_reference object into Polygon_function when used in set_quantity. This shouldn't be of any concern to the user of the ANUGA API and could be automated by doing the adjustment inside ANUGA. I suggest that all function in the public API use normal (absolute) UTM and when ANUGA calls them it will convert function values to relative coordinates for use internally.

The user should not have to pass in anything.

Thoughts are welcome.


#217 Better error message if a boundary point lies outside the area defined in Field_boundary jane new enhancement normal Nov 16, 2007 Sep 11, 2009 Functionality and features

This was suggested by Joaquim Luis and Rajaraman in Sourceforge postings November 2007. They had an sww file used with Field boundary which didn't quite cover the boundary segment. The old error message just said that NANs were found, but now why. This was confusing since the sww didn't contain NANs.


#323 Replace nonstandard zone by central_meridian leharne new enhancement normal Mar 24, 2009 Feb 13, 2012 Appearance and visualisation

Now that we have the option of specifying the central meridian we (Leharne, Myall and Ole) think that we should get rid of the option of specifying an enforced zone to urs2sts and redfearn altogether.

Anyone needing to project outside a zone can use central_meridian henceforth.

One thing to keep in mind is how zone information is assigned to domain and stored in the sww file. With nonstandard meridian zone will be set to -1


#16 Make sure that georeferencing is used consistently (domain, pmesh, sww files, ...) nariman new defect minor Sep 20, 2005 Sep 11, 2009 Functionality and features

The georeferencing object isn't used consistently yet. Some code in source:inundation/pyvolution/data_manager.py is working directly with xllcorner and yllcorner

Also make sure that georeferencing is tested everywhere (esp least squares)


#149 Consistent API for file boundaries nariman new defect minor May 7, 2007 Sep 8, 2009 Architecture and API

File_boundary and Field_boundary currently takes the filename of an tms or sww file where as Transmissive_Momentum_Set_Stage_boundary takes a callable object (e.g. an File_function).

Consistency would be nice.

My feeling is that the latter model is the better one.


#280 geospatial_data should know about hemispheres nariman new enhancement minor Apr 30, 2008 Sep 8, 2009 Functionality and features

Currently the set of points in geospatial_data are assumed to be in the Southern hemisphere. There should be an attribute so the hemisphere is known.


#158 polygon information has no geo reference. nariman new enhancement normal May 21, 2007 Sep 8, 2009 Functionality and features

We use a list of UTM coordinates to pass polygon infomation around. The geo-reference information for these points is not kept/associated with the list. Because of this the zone of the points is not known. This can cause problems. eg when trying to convert the info to lats and longs.

To enhance ANUGA polygon info should be associated with geo reference info.

Implimentation - Use a geospactial object to hold polygon info.


#272 Write blocking csv2pts script nariman new enhancement normal Apr 17, 2008 Feb 13, 2012 Efficiency and optimisation

ted Rigby has shown that ANUGA isn't performing very well if one wants to convert 18 million points in a csv file to the pts netcdf format. Currently, we do this by creating a Geospatial data object from the csv file and then exporting it to the pts format. The problem is that all data is stored in memory and this causes thrashing for large datasets. This problem is holding Ted back in running a validation against the Macquarie-Rivulaet catchment.

One solution would be to make use of blocking so that the csv file isn't read until the export code is run - and then only in blocks.

Another, and perhaps simpler, approach would be to write a conversion script, csv2pts, which does the conversion without ever having to store all data in memory.


#325 Memory not being freed in fitting nariman new defect normal Apr 2, 2009 Sep 8, 2009 Efficiency and optimisation

When a simulation run does not find data it can use in the cache it creates the cache data. This process allocates and doesn't free memory, impacting other simulations on the same node. We should investigate the fitting code and explicitly 'unreference' data structures that are maintained in the mesh structure.

This could be done either in existing code that executes when we are finished the fitting, or we could add another method that explicitly frees structures no longer required.


#358 Remove splitting of sww files nariman new enhancement normal Feb 25, 2011 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

Now that large NetCDF format has been in place for a good while and the viewer has been update to use this, we can remove the need for splitting into chunks less than 2GB. I think this is in store_timestep()

I propose doing this in two steps:

1: Increase the variable controlling the splitting to a number large enough to prevent it. Verify all tests and validations work. 2: Carefully remove the splitting algorithm in store_timestep() and the codes that were modified to observe splitted sww files. Verify all tests and validations.

This supersedes ticket:257 which I have closed.


#223 sww2domain is failing in (DISABLED)test_sww2domain2 ole reopened defect minor Nov 21, 2007 Sep 11, 2009 Testing and validation

Currently the parameter minimum_storable_height controls the smallest depth ANUGA is willing to store. However, Rudy van Drie noticed that momenta are stored for depths smaller than that resulting in sww files that have regions with nonzero momentum but zero depth. This is counter intuitive and causes problems if one wants to compute flow speed maps from sww files.

Change this in data_manager.py so that momentum is set to zero in sww files whenever depth is less than minimum_storable_height.

I assign this to Jane as Duncan will be busy with ticket:222


#338 Sponge Boundary Condition ole new enhancement minor Aug 26, 2009 Aug 26, 2009 Functionality and features

It would be useful to have a boundary condition that absorbs everything without being transmissive and without reflecting anything.

Attached is a paper from former advisor Jesper Larsen which outlines a technique for creating an absorbing boundary condition.


#290 Variable friction forcing term ole new enhancement normal Jul 16, 2008 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

Implement forcing term that adds friction as a generalised and depth dependent function.

Ted Rigby has the formulae and knowledge required.


#332 Compress sww files on the fly someone new enhancement minor Jun 19, 2009 Jun 19, 2009 Efficiency and optimisation

As sww files tend to get very big, ANUGA could perhaps compress them on the fly (much like Google Earth can create kmz instead of kml). The file format could be called swz.

A test showed that they do compress Original sww 684,150kb Compressed folder by Windows XP 337,443kb Zipped by Zip Genius 236,883kb So there is some file size to save, but compressed sww files need to be handled by the other products like ANUGA Viewers, WateRide? and the Linux and 64 bit versions of ANUGA.


#110 Move parallel stuff away from shallow_water_domain and above steve new defect minor Nov 7, 2006 Sep 9, 2009 Appearance and visualisation

As far as possible, it would be good to avoid references to parallel concepts in the sequential code. Perhaps this could be achieved by more virtualisation of methods overridden in parallel_domain?

#182 More integration with GIS Vanessa new enhancement normal Jul 3, 2007 Feb 13, 2012 Architecture and API

It would be good to allow ANUGA direct access to GIS files such as shape files, GML, KML and so on. This should probably be done through the GDAL library.

Other tools that are based on GDAL are Quantum GIS (http://www.qgis.org/) and ogr2ogr (http://www.gdal.org/ogr/ogr2ogr.html).

Quantum GIS is very promising as it allows very easy creation of polygons and has a light simple interface. It is unknown how well qgis handles projections.

Ogr2ogr is commandline driven and can convert most formats. Two important examples are

ogr2ogr -f "GML" map_area.gml map_area.shp

which creates a gml file from a shape file. That file can easily be converted to csv if needed (however, it would be better to read the GDAL formats directly).

ogr2ogr -f "KML" -t_srs WGS84 bay_area.kml bay_area.shp

which converts a shape file in UTM coordinates to kml in WGS84 for use with Google Earth.

First task in this ticket will be to see if Python can get direct access to the underlying libraries. One, called pymod, ships with ogr2ogr. DGAL may be the same thing, but I am not sure.


#243 Diagnostics about compatibility of elevation data at boundary gareth new enhancement normal Jan 10, 2008 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

It'd be handy to provide diagnostics and perhaps a warning in case the elevation data in files used by File_boundary (and Field_boundary) aren't matching the elevation data used by the domain being evolved. In some cases small discrepancies can be safely ignored e.g. if they are small relative to the water depth, but in other cases, a small discrepancy can cause spurious flows. This may be the problem highlighted by Joaquim Luis in postings January 2008.

Currently, File_boundary works only with conserved quantities, so elevation has to be obtained in order to do this.

See changeset:4925 for a possible example of this


#275 Refactor set_values in quantity.py habili new enhancement normal Apr 23, 2008 Feb 13, 2012 Architecture and API

This code needs a revamp. The semantics of 'location' and 'indices' isn't clear and we also need to have the option of restricting the area by specifying a polygon as requested by rajaraman 22 April 2008.

I suggest we get rid of edge_values as an option and also to rename 'unique vertices' to the more intuitive name 'nodes' and let that be the default. This is what is set using point sets by least squares anyway. I the user needs to set vertex_values by triangle e.g. to include discontinuities it may be better to imply that by the shape of input value in case it is an array.

I also suggest that we allow restrictions by region_tag in set_quantity to roll set_region in seemlessly. In fact set_region could probably be refactored using set_quantity with the polygon in question allowing for more code reuse.

This ticket should be done in conjunction with ticket:250 and ticket:254


#211 Use correct interpretation of xllcorner and yllcorner leharne new defect normal Nov 12, 2007 Sep 11, 2009 Functionality and features

The current interpretation of xllcorner and yllcorner is wrong. As suggested by Joaquim Luis - see thread http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4727D555.7010208%40ualg.pt&forum_name=anuga-user

  • we should redefine xllcorner as

x0 = xllcorner + 0.5*cellsize or x0 = xllcenter

and similarly for yllcorner.


#320 zone stored in sww is always -1 leharne new defect normal Mar 16, 2009 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

It seems that domains don't get the zone info from data so sww files have zone=-1. It can easily be overridden by setting domain.geo_reference.zone manually, but it'd be best to get it from mesh and or data points.


#345 STS boundary condition does not work with parallel ANUGA leharne new defect normal Feb 16, 2010 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

It appears that setting a File_boundary using an STS boundary file does not work when ANUGA is run in parallel.

I am guessing at the following reason: The STS file is first used to create the mesh. When the file boundary is built for a subdomain indices of edges are taken to refer to the global ordering of edges along the boundary.

For this to work with parallel ANUGA there has to be some mapping from the local indices of the sub domain boundary to the global ordering used by the STS file.

This could even be achieved by checking the x, y coordinates of each edge midpoint whet the file boundary object is being built.


#210 Automatically run realistic example in test suite nariman new defect normal Nov 12, 2007 Sep 11, 2009 Testing and validation

Need to run all demos used in the manual. This will also check things like loading from points file and realistic fitting procedures. This could be added to the validation suite.

Also make fast version of something like the Cairns example (two timesteps, and smaller points file) to run within the unit test suite.


#239 Forcing functions (or at least Inflow) should understand absolute coordinates nariman new enhancement normal Dec 18, 2007 Sep 11, 2009 Architecture and API

Currently all forcing functions expect spatial information in coordinates relative to the lower left origin of the computational mesh. It would be desirable to allow absolute UTM coordinates espectially when developing new forcing terms that are part of the public API such as rainfall, culverts etc.


#306 Revisit starttime in boundaries, forcing terms and file_function. nariman new defect normal Nov 24, 2008 Sep 9, 2009 Functionality and features

Ted Rigby discovered that a hydrograph used with Transmissive_Momentum_Set_stage didn't use the real model time when domain.starttime > 0

Changing domain.time to domain.get_time in the evaluate method solves the problem, but opens the question about the general architecture. Currently, relative times are passed in (e.g. file_boundary) but changing this will touch many modules and will have to be done carefully.

The overriding principle, though, should be that whenever a modeller references time it should be the absolute time (internal time + starttime) just as we intend with spatial coordinates.


#326 Boundary object that allows for the 'addition' of two time series nariman new enhancement normal May 15, 2009 Feb 13, 2012 Functionality and features

The development of the storm surge modelling capability will require the ability of ANUGA to take the outputs from an offshore storm surge model at the boundary (as what is done in the tsunami modelling case) and also apply a tidal forcing term.

this means that the boundary term will need to take a .sts formatted deep water storm surge output and add a tidal forcing term. It's not clear how this forcing term is applied and whether it requires an input file, or whether it can be described by a function. This may indicate that having the functionality for a file or a function to be applied during the addition would be advantageous.


#186 Variable rainfall forcing function ole new enhancement normal Jul 25, 2007 Jul 25, 2007 Functionality and features

Implement a forcing function for variable rainfall.

Suggested requirements:

Take as input an arbitrary number of time series each containing time (s) and rainfall (mm) in two columns. This is the same format we used for the rainfall test using one rainfall gauge.

The time intervals might be different for each time series, i.e. some might be sampled every 300s while others could be sampled at other times. The intervals can also vary within one time series

Then build a forcing function based on this data such that for each timestep t in ANUGA:

Values at t be established for each timeseries through linear interpolation. Values be established across the domain at time t using the built-in smoothing code Those values be applied as we did in the test case except they will be spatially varying.

#364 Allow ANUGA to read gis shapefiles to define the bounding polygon ole new enhancement normal Mar 23, 2012 Mar 23, 2012 Functionality and features

From Gareth Davies:

At present in the code, the user inputs polygons by typing something like

Bounding_polygon = anuga.read_polygon(‘my_extent.csv’)

where ‘my_extent.csv’ is a file with xy coordinate pairs (and no header), like this:

x1, y1 x2, y2 x3, y3 x4, y4

What we would like is for the user to be able to type:

bounding_polygon = anuga.read_polygon_shapefile(‘myshapefile.shp’)

[where ‘myshapefile.shp’ is a polygon shapefile which ONLY contains a single polygon, which the user wants to use as a bounding polygon],

and for the above command to have the same effect as the previous command.

## Things to consider are:

1) Should we support shapefiles with multiple polygons in them? I suggest no, because it will make it more complex to code and there is more potential for user error. However, this could be done. Perhaps better to have a warning or error if there is more than 1 polygon in the shapefile.

2) Should we check the orientation of the polygon? At present, I believe that ANUGA can have errors if all polygons are not oriented in the same way (i.e. clockwise or counter-clockwise). We could potentially ensure that the polygon was oriented clockwise (using a simple test like this one: http://paulbourke.net/geometry/clockwise/index.html, and re-ordering if needed). I suggest that this should either not be done, or optionally be done, with a warning if the vertices are being re-ordered. The reason is that one could imagine a situation where a user entered some polygons as csv files in a counterclockwise fashion, and then entered another polygon using a shapefile which had been ordered counter-clockwise – and the user would not wish for this polygon to be automatically re-ordered without a warning.

3) Should we support shapefiles that are not polygons (e.g. lines or points)? I think we should do this with a warning, however, we must assume that the ordering of the points is the same as it would be for a polygon.

#252 Transmissive_Momentum_Set_Stage boundary may cause numerical instabilities steve new defect major Feb 28, 2008 Aug 25, 2008 Functionality and features

This boundary condition was implemented to allow momentum to be automatically derived from the underlying numerical scheme and it was instrumental in getting the Okushiri validation to work.

However, it appears that numerical instabilities may arise from this in cases where reflected waves flow back into this boundary. This is not unlike the instabilities we encountered with the fully transmissive boundary. The example https://datamining.anu.edu.au/anuga/browser/anuga_work/debug/bad_time_step/run_dam.py has been boiled down to the basics and demonstrates this phenomenon. The instability occurs at the point where the reflected wave interacts with the boundary. The diagnostic output confirms that huge momentum values build up and that the large speeds resulting are not due to very shallow water.

Coarsening the mesh seems to help, but it would be good to address the underlying issue.

Good luck!


#102 Get true boundaries of parallel domains steve new defect normal Oct 19, 2006 Sep 11, 2009 Functionality and features

Parallel domains are equipped with 'ghost' triangles. It would be useful to have access to the true boundary and somehow hook get_boundary_polygon() into that rather than giving the extended boundary.

One way would be to build the local meshes temporarily (as is done already) and generate a boundary_polygon to be stored with the parallel_domain. Then override get_boundary_polygon() to return that.

Here's information from Linda (18/10/6) on how to get access to the individual meshes:

Hi,

 	The triangles, nodes etc are stored in a dictionary, eg
     submesh["full_nodes"], submesh["full_triangles"], 
submesh["full_boundary"]. To obtain, say the triangles for submesh 1 use 
submesh["full_triangles"][1]. The full_... entries are the submeshes 
without the ghosts. The triangle structure is the same as the standard 
structure, but the node structure has been extended to include the global 
ID to local ID mapping (I have not removed any information just extended 
it). If you plan to pass the these boundary polygons around as an 
additional structure, you will need to also update build_commun.py and 
change build_local.py to change the global ID to a local ID once the 
information has been sent to the processor.

 	If all that you need is the nodes and triangles (you do not need 
to know any neighbour information) you may want to look at build_local.py. build_local is suppose to be run on each processor so the 
triangles and nodes for that processor are stored in submesh["full_nodes"] 
and submesh["full_triangles"]. The advange here is that you will not need 
to update the communication calls. You still have to be careful becasue 
the information in submesh["full_.."] is originally stored in terms of the 
global ID, it is not until I get to build_local_GA that the global IDs are mapped to the local IDs.

 								Linda

#214 Discontinuous Bathymetry steve new enhancement normal Nov 15, 2007 Sep 9, 2009 Functionality and features

Discontinuous Bathymetry should be implemented. This would help to deal with steep slopes such as found at the edge of the continental shelf and also in riverine flooding applications. Also useful if we implement 2 or multilayer models.

Will need to update the flux calculation and gravity term. It might be best to remove gravity as a forcing term and couple it with the basic flux calculations.


#215 Well Balanced implementation of Flux and Gravity term steve new enhancement normal Nov 15, 2007 Nov 30, 2007 Efficiency and optimisation

#374 Consistent use of csv files steve new enhancement normal Jan 10, 2013 Jan 10, 2013 Functionality and features

Just wondering if there is any scope for you to fix the way we import a time series into ANUGA.

At the moment for a hydrograph or rainfall, we have to create a space separated time series (.asc format) and then convert it to a binary (.tms format) before we can call it.

This used to be the case with your digital terrain data where one would have to create a csv (x,y,z) and then convert it to a .pts file so ANUGA could read it in. Now we can just specify the .csv and ANUGA does it during the intial setup stage which is better as there is less user input.

Is there any chance of getting all the other time series inputs (eg boundary, rainfall, hydrographs) to be done the same way? So the user would just create a .csv of their rainfall (or hydrograph or tide) data and instead of specifying a .tms file, ANUGA just reads the .csv and converts it to a .tms during the set up stage?
